•If you do come into contact with the sealant immediately rinse the eyes
or skin affected with clean water.•Change clothing immediately if it becomes soiled with the tyre sealant.•Make sure you do not breathe in the fumes!•If any of the tyre sealant is accidentally ingested, immediately rinse the
mouth thoroughly and drink lots of water.
−Do not induce vomiting. Seek medical assistance if needed.•If any allergic reactions should occur get medical help immediately.•Keep the sealant away from children.For the sake of the environment
If you have to dispose of a sealant can, go to a specialised waste ser vice or to
a SEAT Technical Service, where the product can be recycled in an appropriate
waste container.
Note
•If sealant should leak out, leave it to dry. When it has dried, you can pull
it off like a piece of foil.•Observe the expiry date stated on the sealing compound can. Have the
sealing compound exchanged by a qualified workshop.
Repairing a tyrePreparations
– If you have a flat tyre or puncture, park the vehicle as far away from the flow of traffic as possible.
–Apply the handbrake firmly to prevent the vehicle from moving
accidentally on slopes.
– Engage 1st gear .
– Check whether a repair is possibl e using the Tyre Mobility System
⇒ page 262.
– Ensure that all passengers leave the vehicle and move away from
the danger area ⇒ .
–Take the tyre sealant can and the compressor out of the luggage
compartment.

– Stick the “max. 80 km/h” adhesive, which is included with the tyre sealant can, onto the instrument panel where the driver will
see it.
Filling the tyre
– Shake the tyre sealant can well.
– Screw the enclosed filling hose onto the sealant can as far as it will go. This will automatically pierce the foil sealing the can.
– Take the valve cap off the tyre valve and use the enclosed valve insert tool to unscrew the valve insert ⇒page 263, fig. 199 .
– Place the valve insert onto a clean surface.
– Remove the sealing plug from the filling hose and insert the hose into the tyre valve.
– Hold the tyre sealant can upside down and fill the complete contents of the can into the tyre.
– Then disconnect the hose and screw the valve insert firmly back into the tyre valve.
Inflating the tyre
– Screw the compressor filling hose onto the tyre valve and plug the connector into the cigarette lighter.
– Pump the tyre up to 2.0 to 2.5 bar and monitor the pressure shown on the pressure gauge. – If the tyre pressure remains lowe
r than the value specified above
drive the vehicle approx. 10 metres forwards or backwards, so
that the sealant can spread evenly in the tyre. If the pressure is
still lower than the specification the tyre is too badly damaged
and cannot be repaired using the tyre sealant.
Final check
– After about 10 minutes, stop to check the tyre pressure.
– If tyre pressure is less than 1.3 bar, the tyre is too badly damaged. Do not drive on! You should obtain professional
assistance.
WARNING
•If you have a puncture in heavy traffic, switch on the hazard warning
lights and place the warning triangle in a visible location. This is for your
own safety and also warns other road users.•Make su re your pass engers wait in a safe place ( for instance beh ind the
roadside crash barrier).•Please observe the manufacturer's safety notes on the compressor and
the instructions supplied with the tyre sealant can.•If it is not possible to build up a tyre pressure of 2.0 bar within 6
minutes this means that the tyre is too badly damaged. Do not drive on!•Seek professional assistance if the repair of a tyre puncture is not
possible with the sealing compound.•If tyre pressure is less than 1.3 bar after driving about 10 minutes, the
tyre is too badly damaged. Do not drive on! Obtain technical assistance.Caution
Take special care if you have to repair a tyre on a slope.

Note
•Do not use the compressor for longer than 6 minutes. Otherwise, it might
overheat. When the compressor has cooled down, you can use it again.•If tyre sealant should leak out, leave it to dry and then pull it off like foil.•After carrying out a tyre repair remember to buy a new tyre sealant can at
a qualified workshop. This will ensure that the Tyre Mobility System is opera-
tive again.•Please observe legal requirements when doing so.FusesChanging fuses
If a fuse has blown, it must be replaced.
– Switch off the ignition and its failed electrical component.
– Remove the fuse cover using a screwdriver ⇒fig. 200 .
– Identify the fuse corresponding to the damaged electric consumer ⇒page 266, “Fuse assignment”.
– Take the plastic clip from inside the fuse cover, fit it onto the blown fuse, and pull the fuse out.
– Replace the blown fuse (which will have a melted metal strip) with a new fuse of the same amp rating.
–Fit the fuse cover back on.The individual electrical circuits are protected by fuses. The fuses are located
behind a cover at the left-hand end of the dash panel.
Two spare fuses and a sticker identifying the fuses are provided on the inside
of the fuse cover. There is also a crank handle for operating the sunroof* by
hand (if the electrical system fails).

CautionNever “repair” damaged fuses and never replace them with fuses with a
higher rating. Failure to comply could result in fire. It could also cause
damage to other parts of the electrical system.
Note
If a newly replaced fuse blows again after a short time, the electrical system
must be checked by a qualified workshop as soon as possible.Fuse assignment

easily by the owner.No.

Some of the electrical items listed in the table are only fitted on certain
models or are optional extras.
The electric windows and electric seat adjusters are protected by circuit
breakers
. These reset automatically after a few seconds when the overload
(caused for example by frozen windows) has been corrected.

Please note that the above list contains all data at the time of going to press,
so it is subject to modifications. If discrepancies should occur, please refer to
the sticker on the inside of the fuse cover for the correct information for your

BulbsGeneral informationYou can change the following bulbs for exterior lights yourself:•Main headlights: all bulbs (except xenon headlights)•Tail lights: all bulbs•Side turn signal bulb
The following bulbs can only be changed by a qualified workshop:•Main headlights: Xenon* bulb ⇒page 274•Front fog light bulbs
As a rule, you require a certain degree of practical skill to change defective
bulbs. This applies in particular to those bulbs which are only accessible from
the engine compartment.
If in doubt, we recommend that you have defective bulbs changed by a qual-
ified workshop or qualified mechanic.
If you do decide to change bulbs in the engine compartment yourself, be
aware of the safety risks involved ⇒page 229 ⇒ in “Types of bulbs”.Changing bulbs. Halogen headlightsTypes of bulbsYou must only replace a bulb with a bulb of the same type. The name can be
found on the base of the bulb holder.

WARNING
•Take particular care when working on components in the engine
compartment if the engine is warm - risk of burns!•Bulbs are highly sensitive to pressure. The glass can break when you
touch the bulb, causing injury.•The high voltage element of gas discha rge bulbs* (xenon light) must be
handled correctly. Otherwise, there is a risk of death.•When changing bulbs, please take care not to injure yourself on sharp
parts in the headlight housing.Caution
•Remove the ignition key before working on the electric system. If not, a
short circuit could occur.•Switch off the lights or parking lights before you change a bulb.For the sake of the environment
Please ask your specialist retailer how to dispose of used bulbs in the proper
manner.
Note
•Depending on weather conditions (cold or wet), the front lights, the fog
lights, the tail lights and the turn signals may be temporarily misted. This has no influence on the useful life of the lighting system. By switching on the
lights, the area through which the beam of light is projected will quickly be
demisted. However, the edges may continue to be misted.
•Please check at regular intervals that all lighting (especially the exterior
lighting) on your vehicle is functioning properly. This is not only in the interest
of your own safety, but also in that of all other road users.•Before changing a bulb, make sure you have the correct new bulb.•Do not touch the glass part of the bulb with your bare hands, use a cloth
or paper towel instead. Otherwise, the fingerprints left on the glass will
vaporise as a result of the heat generated by the bulb, be deposited on the
reflector and impair its surface.Removing the air duct
The air duct has to be removed to gain access to the bulbs for
the right-side headlight.
